Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: Is this Chanel Corsages Brooch authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.
Q: What materials is it made from? Is it real gold? A: This vintage Chanel brooch is crafted in red, pink and white tweed with red tulle, finished with gold‑tone hardware. It is costume jewellery (not solid gold). Please review the close‑up photos and contact us if you’d like us to confirm any specific composition details for this exact piece.
Q: How big is it and will it feel heavy when worn? A: It measures approximately 11 cm (height) x 11 cm (width) x 4 cm (depth). As a fabric camellia, it has a statement presence yet typically feels lighter than solid‑metal brooches. If you’d like the precise gram weight or a photo on model for scale, message us and we’ll provide it.
Q: How does it fasten and is it secure? A: It features a pin closure at the back. For extra security or to protect fabrics, you can add a brooch stopper/locking clutch and use a small felt backing disc on the inside of the garment to stabilise the pin.
Q: Where can I wear it—coats, knitwear, scarves, hats or bags? A: Brooches work beautifully on structured fabrics like wool coats, blazers, denim and canvas, and as accents on scarves, hats and handbags. On delicate textiles (silk, fine knits), test in an inconspicuous spot and consider a backing disc to help prevent pulls. If pinning to a handbag, go through a reinforced area or strap to avoid marking soft leather.
Q: Will the pin damage delicate clothing? Are there alternatives? A: Pins can leave small holes in fine fabrics. To minimise risk, place the brooch through thicker seams, lapels or weaves, use a backing disc, or wear it on outer layers. As a no‑pin option, you can use a brooch‑to‑pendant converter and wear it on a chain or ribbon.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on a Chanel brooch? A: Many Chanel costume jewellery pieces feature an oval or small plaque stamped CHANEL and often a country of origin such as “Made in France,” sometimes with a season code. Placement and format vary by era and design. Our listing photos show any stamps present on this brooch.
Q: How should I care for tweed and tulle on this brooch? A: Keep it dry and away from perfume, lotions, hairspray and hand sanitiser. After wear, gently dust the fabric with a soft, dry microfibre cloth; use a very soft brush to lift lint from the tweed and tulle. Do not soak, machine‑clean or use chemical dips. Store it individually in a pouch/box, lightly supported with tissue, to avoid crushing the petals.
Q: Can it be repaired or converted? A: A competent jeweller can usually tighten/straighten the pin or replace a catch. Brooch‑to‑pendant converters let you wear it as a necklace; hair use is possible with care and suitable clips. We don’t perform modifications in‑house, but we can recommend reputable specialists. Note that alterations may affect originality and resale value.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This piece is in Very Good Condition with light signs of careful wear possible. Accessories are not included unless specifically shown or listed—this item comes with no accessories. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
